 The explanation of life....
When God created the dog, He said: "Sit all day by
the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes
in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life
span of twenty years."
The dog said: "That's a long time to be barking. How
about only ten years and I'll give you back the
other ten?" So God agreed.
Next, God created the monkey and said: "Entertain
people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this,
I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said: "Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I
give you back ten like the dog did?" And God
agreed.
God then created the cow and said: "You must go into
the field with the farmer all day long and suffer
under the sun, have calves and give milk to support
the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a
life span of sixty years."
The cow said: "That's kind of a tough life you want
me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and
I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed
again.
Finally, God created man and said: "Eat, sleep,
play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give
you twenty years." But man said: "Only twenty years?
Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the
cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the
ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep,
play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years
we slave in the sun to support our family. For the
next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren . And for the last ten years we sit on
the front porch and bark at everyone.
